Mice are actually quite clever creatures. The bars on an old bird cage are not quite close enough together to keep mice secured inside. Mrs Brown can scream astonishingly loudly.
I still haven't told the Strettons about my rat. I'm going to pretend I got him during the YPL week, I think, because that way no one will think he was one of Carrow's rats.
But Sebastian is a magic rat so he's very good about hiding when I tell him to hide, and not creeping around and scaring Mrs Stretton. So far, anyway.
That's a good idea. Or maybe you should wait and pretend Pansy gave him to you? The Strettons probably wouldn't want to make Mrs Parkinson angry by making you give back a 'gift' from Pansy. D'you think?
I guess you'll have to bring Sebastian with you on the trip, then?

I like most animals but mice are just small and wiggly and Horrid.
